Yet another thing we in the U.S don't automatically get when we buy bikes, preload wrenches, all we ever get is that same ole cheap helmet holding wire.
Great video, and timelapse. Nice garden you got! Feel like I have my own personal mechanic for my bike watching these video👏🏻🙏🏻
LIVING A HUMAN LIFE Haha thanks, don’t consider myself a mechanic at all though 😁
You didn't answer the only question one can have about this, do you need to turn it clockwise or anticlockwise for increasing the preload? If I knew I would have checked the manual...
Counter clockwise for increasing the preload
How old are you, did someone plant a mature aged adult in a youths body? Your inputs are of a quality that far outstrips 80 pc of the tubes I view every day. Great You Tubes keep it up.
Thanks for the compliment man! Glad you enjoy it :) My info is in the description if you want to learn more about me

Hey man, really useful video! I just wondered if this helps adjust sag? I'm 100lb and only 5ft 2in - the previous owner has it on the highest setting so want to adjust it so it's softer and my feet can touch the ground better :)
It think it has very minimal effect on the sag
Thanks for your opinion 😊
Does anyone know the STOCK preload number on the 2019 cb500x? 2......3 ?
( my bike) ..also at 2:26 to 2:39...That looks like he turned it clock wise ...Is that how you increase preload..meaning making it able to handle more weight?
Clockwise increases preload yes. I think the default was set on max preload -1
@@thebrightrider good grief..Are little 10 year old 80 pound boys the test riders for these bikes in Thailand???😂.,
Thanks for the info
read the manual.
@@harryw9598 I have and it's not there...not the one that comes with the bike
Stock setting is 2
Hi, owner of 2019 here..I'm 85 kg riding solo and I've tried every preload on rear shock leaving front preload at stock which is 3rd groove..Personally for me setting of 2 which is default is best, you have great feedback from rear end and tire, also on twisties Im more confident to go faster because of that feedback then on setting 3 or up, on those harder settings I don't feel bike as much doing his thing behind, so I don't know will tire slip or not, but on 2 I feel when my tire is skiping..Also on harder settings riding is not plush and smooth, it's a bit bumpy and sometimes my ass would go of the seat if road is not perfectly flat..P.S Im riding only road, bit more aggressively so take my experience with grain of salt🙏
valsorimcijas Thanks for sharing!
get in to it ,preload only change the ride height.
hey, do I need the original manufacturer c spanner ? or will any one work?
Do you do the adjustments on the side stand?
I could not get it past position 2 on the side stand, however it is fully adjustable on a centre stand, even without the extension arm fitted to the tool.
Way easier than MY16 CB500X. Thanks for sharing the helpful video and happy new year!
Anyone know what tool needed to adjust the rear preload? My 2021 didn't come with one in the tool kit. Extra points if you have a link to tool. Called Honda and apparently the 2019, 2020 and 2021 don't come with the tool in America. Thank you.
Found all the missing tools on Partzilla.
Hi, tried to do that as well on my CB500X but I couldn't get a hold with the key so I just didn't do it 😂
BenalRida I know it’s a bit tricky, but you keep at it, you’ll eventually get it to stick! On the video it seems easy, but I tried to get it to turn for a couple minutes too ;p
@@thebrightrider Yeah, Honda could have done a better job with accessibility of that spring.
@@BenalRida Yeah, probably another budget cut to make the bike a bit more cheap :)

Nice rising sun ;-)
is it necesary to adjust the front also, with a passenger on the rear seat ? Not so much front diving when you're hard on breaks ?
poiro No need in my opinion.. :) you can always go extreme with stuff like that but the bike is safe to ride with a passenger when you set the preload on max
@@thebrightrider Thanks ! keep on with that great youtube content, sure you will reach the first thousand subscribers very soon ! I'll be there to celebrate !
poiro That would be so awesome! Thanks mate!
How much static sag do you have?
CruisingTheThaiway More than enough room left! :)
